Referringbto Fig 1- 14- o f the' drawings' the breechlock -1-1 is, in a known man'- ner, :fastened in the rear endfof & Cylindrical casing said casing togetherwit the breec block A moving backward a ainst the pressure `othe Y return spring d the barrel 2-T, wherebythe casing is carried forward'by the saidspring to the' position shown; During this'opera-- tion thev breech-block performs n o turning" movement. The iiring'pin -5-. isstruck bythe cock -6- which turns on' its-pivot -7- and is retained in the cocked" position .scribed below. with reference to the Figs.

plays in an openin --11-' 'made inthe underside of the 'breec block 4and as shown the 'a Side view-gartly in longitud'i-- i vpistol arrange i in cook is completely inclosed in the fire-arm. zccording to the invention there is formed he rear end of the breech-blocky a cylindrical chamber -12 open'at the rear end (Fig-11) is located." The rear end of this sleeve has a -14"- and its penf front of a lowerlongitudnal'grove'f-15- and' a transverse and `14). ear its rear, end the sleeve has a transverse groove' -17=- into' whichrpro- 'ects the end of afscrew 18- andthe Oated between the eas'n-f in .which chamber a rotatable sleeve .13-

The Figs. 7-1 4 and 17421 are` Si)` The cock -6-1- end isformedivith a bayonet slot consisting.

observedthat the combination of the screw;

s. 7 .and 8*)-2- itf thereby same ltiine-it `limits the trningmotion of the that'the'sleeve can only turn 90' degrees (from the position shown in Figs. 3 and 11 to that shown in Figs. 5 and 14). At its rear end the sleeve is provided with a central hole for-l the outer end of a movable pin 5 --23-, the so-called"c'ock indicator", the front end of which is thicker so that'it forms a shoulder '-24-,' provided with a nose -2 5- projecting downward into the longi- The length of the said nose (in the longitudinal direction' of the fire-arm) corresponds l wilzh the width of the transverse groove Between .the pin -23-a'nd the sleeve -13- -is an annular lchamber inclosing a helical spring 2G- the front end of which presses ainst the rear face of the shoulder -24.- t ereby causing the nose 25 to bear against the rear art of the cock. When 204 the cock is relaxed ig. 1) the rear end of the pin Z3- isush with the wing -14--, but when the firearm is cocked the pin will be forced backward against the pressure of the spring so that the rear end of said pin will 25 project beyond the wing -l14-', thereby in-. 'dicating that the firearm is cocked. As the nose -25- is guided along the vertical sides vof the opening -'-11- of the breechblock (see Fig. 8) it is revented from being turned. `In order that t e sleeve '-133- with the pin -23- may be put into the chamber 12-, the under part of said chamber is provided with a longitudinal groove 27- corresponding with the width and size of the nose -.-25-- (see Figs. 7, 8 and 10 Thus, the .nose 25e cannot-turn, an as said nose, when the cock is relaxed, projects into the longitudinal groove -15- of the sleeve -13-, it also prevents the sleeve from being turned. When, however, the fire arm is cocked, the nose 25n is opposite the transverse groove 16, so that the Isleeve can now be turned through 90 degrees, the length of the groove -16- being adapted for this turning angle. By the turnin' of the sleeve the wing -'14- is placed horizontally (Fig. 5) and at the same time tlr'e nose ---28--V of the sleeve (see Fig. 14) is caused to bear u on the front face of the cocked cock (Fig. 4)) thereby retaining the cock in secured position.

The safety sleeve -13- is held in its two' ositions by means of a spring 429- (see ig. 9) which presses against one or the other of the surfaces -30-' and -31- ori the sleeve (see also Figs. 1 1 and 13). Said spring -.29- plays in a ongitudinal groove -32- in the chamber -12- and is made in one iece with the. extractor -33- as shown in ig. V9. At the middle of the extractor is a projection -34fpassing through a hole -35- in the breech-blockV into a notch 36- made in the pin -5- thereby' holding this pin in positlon and limiting its movements lengthwise. "y

From the preceding it will be understood that `the wing -14-.2 at any time indicates whether the cock issecured or released, and the in --234 at the same time shows Whet er the fire arm is cocked or not. 70"

The combination of the parts illustrated is very suitable to the purpose. As will be seen the screw -18 has four functions namel forming the sight notch, lock' the breec block to the cap, retaining the eeve m13m 75 and limiting the turning of said sleeve. The extractor -33- has also four functions, -namely, forming the extractor itself, holding the firm in in osition, limiting the movements o t 1e sai pin and holding the-sleeve 80 -13- in its two positions by means 'of the spring 29.

I now shall describe the trig er mechanism by reference to Figs. 15-21 o the drawings.

As mentioned above the cock is retained in cocked position by means of a Sear `8-L This latter refera-I ly constitutes one arrnofv in theframe or grip -41 or another fixed part of the frame. The sear'-8- plays in the groove or space *42e-y and normally 95 projects until 'beneath the cookingy nose -9 of the cock -6- as shown in ig. 15-. The arm -37- has a small thickness and is located nearly horizontally at thel side ofthe frame and is provided with a spring'-,43-., the free end of which `engages a face .-.44- on the frame and thereby constantly tends .'to hold the lever 8, 37 in operative o- `sition. Normally the arm -37- is loc ed by a nose -45 arranged on the upper end of an arm 48 pivoted o'n the pin ,-47-. andpressed by a s rin 6 in the position shown, where y t eiislocated directly beneath a lateralprojection -49-- on the arm 37-. -The nose --45`` and the projection -4!9 travel in an opening -50- (see Fig.l 16). The upper ed e of the arm -37-.-

rovided with an inc ed 'projection -l-f ocated in the path of an osc1llatory-tooth l552-- on the rectilinearly imoved trigger A28-7. The o rative part of the' latter is guided on one si e by the arm4 -37.-.at -53 (see Fig. 17) and on the other side .by two faces -54, 55`- (see Fig. 16) on the frame. Thetri'gger handle -56- travels in a recess 5,7 1n the rear portion of the trigger -bow 58'- and is rearwardly provided with a bore, inclosing. a s ring -59- fon a pin n 560-, One end o the spring engages the w'all .of the recess --57- 125 at -61-' (see Fig. 16), so that its other end throu h the spring `59 constantly tends to ho d the trigger forward in the position shown in Fi 15, i. e. with the tooth -52 lto tooth -52- oscilltes about the pin 624 "and-"is Pre'sedfi'n' .the direction ,of the .arrow .-53% by a SPI'ltg '--64-1 arrangediii a ed loppositely the inte-a. -jln t e under ed e he trrgger.'...when theftriggerf-SST- ltoot ngei-is- .carried backward, the.
